This course takes a hybrid approach to teaching environmental law. This course aims to: 1. Provide an overview of some of the major environmental statutes in India 2. Address the variety of regulatory tools and concepts that can be used to prevent

environmental harm, focusing on the proper match between regulatory tool and environmental harm; and

3. Discuss the role of other disciplines (e.g., science) and alternative means (e.g., public awareness) to facilitate changes in environmental policy.

Course Outcomes:

On completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Analyze contrasting environmental regulatory methods and conceptual approaches

including the common law, health and technology based statutes, and informational and economic approaches.

2. Evaluate the economic and ethical assumptions and justifications when choosing any regulatory approach such as cost-benefit analysis, environmental justice, and the tradeoff between environmental protection and public welfare.

3. Assess the lawfulness of administrative agency and private action towards the environment by application of the relevant environmental statute or agency regulation.

4. Explain the role of the Central and state judiciaries, as well as state legislatures and agencies, in formulating and implementing environmental policy.

5. Interpret environmental statutes and case law. 6. Formulate both legal and non-legal strategies to assist future clients in solving problems that

implicate environmental law and policy. Question paper pattern: The question paper will have ten questions. Each full question consists of 16 marks. There will be 2 full questions (with a maximum of four sub questions) from each module. Each full question will have sub questions covering all the topics under a module. The students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module. Reference Books:
